I followed these instructions http://jensontaylor.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/using-google-analytics-with-blogger.html to set it up and now use it on my textilesnippets.blogspot.co.ukMarian Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03010706816737100767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20432226.post-35540002568223805022013-05-25T10:32:13.543+01:002013-05-25T10:32:13.543+01:00It does look counterintuitive, but it is possible ...It does look counterintuitive, but it is possible if you post regularly to your blog (which I know you do).<br /><br />The view figures in the list of posts are total 'all time' page views for each post. The monthly overview shows daily totals for all your posts. The latter are much bigger than the former since anyone visiting your blog will have several new posts to read, so they will add one view to each post but several views to the daily total.<br /><br />Now I know that you usually publish several times a day (as I am one of the people adding to those page view stats). <br /><br />Say you publish four posts in a day and on that day 30 people look at your blog and read on average eight posts each, each post would get up to an extra 30 page views but the total for the day will be 8 x 30 = 240. So it's easy to have quite a big difference between the views for each post and the daily totals.<br /><br />Hope that helps<br />KarenKaren Hurrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13160386356307039646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20432226.post-39227914348510363982013-05-25T09:52:12.715+01:002013-05-25T09:52:12.715+01:00This kind of thing intrigues me too, but if you lo...This kind of thing intrigues me too, but if you look, under 'Stats', at the 'Overview' you can see exactly which posts have been attracting views. On my blog, by far the largest number of views are for an old post I did about clowns. I think there's a photo in there that's doing the rounds of the internet, or something, and so more people are seeing it than anything else I've posted.
